Recovering from an eating disorder isn’t as simple as going to therapy and sticking to a meal plan.
Therapy is where you process the deeper "why:” the root causes, the patterns, the emotional nuances underneath the behaviors.
But nutrition counseling is where you actually rebuild your relationship with food in real life.
It's the practical, day-to-day work of learning to nourish your body without guilt or disordered behaviors – and it’s a critical piece of the puzzle that therapy alone can’t address.
Whether you’re struggling with disordered eating patterns or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with food, we’re here to help you respect your body’s needs and your personal journey.
Our Nutrition Philosophy
Non-Diet
We reject the harmful culture of restrictive dieting, focusing instead on nourishment and well-being. Our approach encourages you to trust your body’s signals and find joy in eating, free from the constraints of diet rules.
Weight-inclusive
We honor bodies of all shapes and sizes, promoting health at every size. Our nutrition counseling focuses on your overall health and well-being, not on achieving a specific weight or body type.
holistic
Beyond just food, we consider the full picture of your well-being, including your mental health, stress levels, and lifestyle. Our goal is to help you feel better mentally and physically, through a combination of nutrition counseling and supportive therapy.
Session Fees
- Initial 60-minute session: $180
- 45-minute follow-up session: $165
All nutrition services are provided virtually through our secure telehealth platform.
Insurance
We are out of network with insurance for nutrition services, but are happy to provide you with monthly superbills you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement depending on your benefits.
At Grow With Gabi Counseling, we believe…
Food is:
✔ Culture
A way of connecting to where you come from, the people you love, and the moments worth remembering
✔ Celebration
Birthday cake is supposed to be enjoyed, not calculated
✔ Nourishment
For your body and your mind, in equal measure
✔ Just food
Not a moral decision, not a test of your willpower, not something you should have to think this hard about
Food is not:
✖️ your worth
What you eat, how much you eat, and what your body looks like say nothing about who you are
✖️ The enemy
Even when it feels that way
✖️ earned
You don't have to work out to "deserve" a meal, and you never did
There's no prize for following rules, and eating "badly" isn't something that requires penance
✖️ reward or punishment
“What if the food stuff feels like too much right now?”
Our approach lets you take the lead, offering support the entire way.
Eating disorders, no matter the symptoms, are physically depleting. Malnourishment affects your concentration, your mood, your energy — and yes, your ability to do the deeper work in therapy.
The food stuff isn't just about food; it's about giving your brain and body the foundation they need to actually heal.
While it can be hard work, it’s incredibly worthwhile work – and we’re never going to throw you in the deep end. We'll meet you exactly where you are, build trust first, and take it from there.
